LONGER DAYS 

If dreams went beyond down
The vexing cockcrow would cheer
And give me psych for the morn
If wishes like horse gallops
Each sleepless turn on this bed
Would see no yawn but a smile

Long before you
In desert cold I owned my heart
Then came you hot
And on your laps heart had to thaw
I wished nights length to sleep by you
And longer days your face to see

You gave me coolest shade from fear
And to my dreams the highest gear
But for your dream now you are gone
And here am left with chills to bear 
Through long lone nights and pain
To brave in longer days

My only joy's in flashing back
With bits of hope as mixed with fear 
And hazy dreams of claiming back
That part of me in you I banked
And too the guide to laughter banked
In you on that day 
You'll be back.
